Shallow Grave (1987)

This week, The Blind Rage Podcast takes a look at SHALLOW GRAVE, a straight-to-video quickie that, up until a few years back, was available exclusively on a long out-of-print VHS. Vinegar Syndrome has since found the original 35mm negative and gave this rarity the Blu-ray star treatment. But was it worth the effort? Ehh… SHALLOW GRAVE is the story of four friends known for causing trouble at their private Catholic girls school. After a prank, which leads them in hot water with their head mistress, they set off to spend their spring break vacation in Fort Lauderdale. They, of course, have a breakdown, which leaves them stranded on a desolate road. One cliché leads to another and they end up witnessing a backwoods murder. Unfortunately for them, the killer happens to be the small town’s sheriff. Once he realizes they know his secret, they come to find just how far he’s willing to go to cover his tracks.
